A new cycle begins.
This week brings a rush of fresh energy. The week kicks off with St, Patrick’s day and a celebration of all things green. Tuesday, the sun enters Aries and ushers in the Spring Equinox and the season of rebirth. We also welcome a new Astrological year as the sun begins a brand new journey through the twelve signs of the zodiac. On Friday, Mars transits into Pisces, making us question when to fight and when to just drift away.
Weekly Collective Reading 3/17 - 3/23/24
Embrace: Seven of Cups + responsibility
Be creative in approaching your do to list. Think outside the box in terms of how things can get done. Perhaps you can outsource or delegate some of your responsibilities. There are things that need to get done, but they do not have to be done in a particular way. Don’t worry about taking an unconventional approach — it just might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Release: The Lovers + doubt
Spring has arrived and with it the burst of heady energy that accompanies a brand new adventure. With the same buzz of a new romance, the world is fresh in our eyes and anything is possible. But with such dazzling possibilities also comes pressure to make the right choice. We may fear that choosing poorly will ruin the clean slate we have offered by a new season, a new chance, a new cycle. But we are reminded that whenever there is freedom, there is also uncertainty. We cannot know for sure if we are making the right decision, but we can move forward with hope and with gratitude that the choice was ours to make.
Advice from Spirit: Temperance + challenges
Here is a further reminder that any course through life, even a successful and happy one, is full of ups and downs, detours, and unexpected surprises both good and bad. We must learn to find balance amidst the turmoil of life. Sometimes things will go our way, and sometimes we will have challenges to face. Building resilience, having a positive attitude, and setting realistic expectations can help us weather storms and sunny skies alike.
Decks: Spirit Garden Tarot and the Quotable Bard Oracle.
Sun enters Aries
Tuesday, 3/19 is the first day of Aries season. This also marks the beginning of a new cycle of the zodiac, as the sun begins a new transit through all 12 signs. Use this spread the celebrate the energy of rebirth and initiation that Aries brings.
Spring Equinox / Ostara
Tuesday also marks the Spring equinox. The sun is directly above the earth’s equator, and day and night are about the same in length. This even ushers in the first day of spring. Use this spread to explore the energy of this change in season.
Mars enters Pisces
On Friday 3/22, Mars enters Pisces. Here, the planet of initiation and energy is tying up loose ends, resolving issues, and drifting away to be reborn in a new cycle. It’s a good time to explore and perhaps reimagine how we manage conflict, establish boundaries, and defend ourselves as needed.
From The Studio
All of the cards from the vintage style collage deck are done, and I’ve uploaded them into Canva and am working on the final design. I’m calling this the 1969 Oracle for now. I’ve got all the keywords figured out. Now I’m playing around with design elements.
